Sculpted Art Medal, Cast Bronze

The "Jericho" Medal depicts the famous "Battle of Jericho". Joshua led the people of Israel across the Jordan River and into the Promised Land. Their first battle was for the City of Jericho. According to G-d's command to Joshua, the people marched around the city, with the seven priests carrying Shofars, ram's horns, before the ark. This was repeated once every day for six days and seven times, on the seventh day. On the seventh time, on the seventh day, the priests blew the Shofars, and with this, the walls of Jericho miraculously tumbled down.
